Grains

what is the pea grain

senior grain for horses provides the nutrients they need without as much fat because their bodies cannot metabolize it as fast.

Barley bristle is called Awn.

Yes, most grains do. Check out related links.

conversion factor can be found in most engineering handbooks fo example PERRY'S CHEMICAL ENGINEEERS HANDOOK,, INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION HANDBOOK and almost any Engineering Handbook. The factor is 7000 grains equal 1 pound

Here's the best i can come up with, (I'm an undergraduate studying nutrition...seriously check the math).

You entire ration amount consumed per day is 4.5 kg hay + 2 kg of sorghum and soybean mix = 6.5 kg total daily consumption on an "as fed" basis.

The amount of protein that you desire to be consumed daily is 0.752 kg (little bit odd...i feed poultry and i usually go by feed bag CP and TP %'s...but i can roll with this)

So, as a percentage of your daily diet you desire to have 0.752 kg protein/6.5 kg total ration = 11.7 % protein on an "as fed" basis.

So...what are average values of protein for soybeans, sorghum, and hay...

Hay, sun-cured appears to be around 16.4% CP (though, this could vary...depending on harvest, moisture, etc.).

Soybean = 5.9% CP (probably on an "as-fed" basis) (source: http://books.Google.com/books?id=5P57esibXEYC&pg=PA37&lpg=PA37&dq=percent+protein+in+soybean&source=web&ots=Qv9oWR6EXq&sig=hwPWwZ3sUwRxL8rQCy9jdg7gRdk&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result)

Sorghum = 7.9% CP (source:http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/88/4/370.pdf)

(obviously these are the best estimates of this i could find...i don't know anything about the quality, growth, etc. of the materials you're using)

Hay's probably cheaper than your soybean/sorghum mix...so you could take out the hay protein from your total protein first: 4.5 kg of hay w/ 16.4% of that being protein gives .738 kg of protein provided in your daily hay ration, (assuming all protein can be utilized by the animal). So...0.752 kg - .738 kg =0.014 kg of protein left to be accounted for. Now comes the fun part.

We need 0.014 kg of protein out of 2 kg of supplement containing a mix of sorghum and soybean. 0.014 kg of protein/ 2 kg of total = 0.7% CP required out of our sorghum and soybean mix to meet the rest of the daily requirement.

On an off note: Assuming 100% soybean diet 2 lb of feed would contain 2 * 5.9% = .118 lb of protein, considerably more than needed to finish off the necessary protein requirement. The same would be true of sorghum. So if my thought process is correct, either of these materials could by itself provide what you need.

I think that covers everything in the question.

6.0 and above, the pH level effects the nutrient availability, so finding the right pH with what your soil has and doesn't have in terms of micro and macro nutrients changes what fertiliser you put on and how much.

There are many ways in which farmers grow crops in Central Asia. These farmers could use terrace farming for example.

Deflation hurt farmers because they were unable to get a good amount of money for their crops. This meant it was harder to make a living.
